Nilforoushan, a top commander of the Quds Force, the IRGC’s foreign operations arm, was killed on September 27 alongside Nasrallah.
On October 1, the Revolutionary Guards fired some 200 missiles at Israel in retaliation for the killing of the general, as well as Nasrallah and Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of Iran-backed Palestinian group Hamas who was assassinated in Tehran in late July.
Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant vowed this week that his country’s response would be “deadly, precise and surprising”.
Iran has promised to respond if it is targeted by arch-enemy Israel.
